Bidirectional & V2G Charging: News & Updates

Since the end of 2024, bidirectional charging has gained a lot of interested in aspects like bidirectional chargers, V2G-capable electric vehicles, whether the grid is ready for V2X, and more.

News & Updates: V2G & Bidirectional Charging

Below are our articles covering the latest news in the realm of vehicle-to-grid and bidirectional charging in Australia. Explore news and updates in new and upcoming events and milestones!


What is Vehicle-to-Grid & Vehicle-to-Home?

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G, Vehicle-to-Home (V2H, and Vehicle-to-X (V2X), all refer to the ability of exporting energy from an electric vehicle battery into a load, whether it be feeding into the grid, or consumption from a home or other electrical load.

With V2G and V2H features, homeowners would be able to rely on the stored energy in the electric vehicle's battery during grid outages to keep fridges and other appliances running.

This feature is designed to not only empower electric vehicle owners with access to battery capacities from anywhere around 20 to 100 kWh of storage.

The Importance of Bidirectional Charging & Vehicle-to-Grid

Similar to dedicated home battery storage, electric vehicles can be used to absorb the abundant solar energy we receive throughout the day.

Combining the ability to charge from pure solar energy, store it, and then use it when the sun goes down, not only benefits electric vehicle and homeowners, but it also helps better balance grid demand and supply.

Whilst dedicated home battery storage will play a strong role with this evolving technology, this will enable solar owners to benefit even more.
